Trend Reports

Tie-dye has come a long way since it first made waves with its hippy roots in the sixties and seventies. Spring ’21 sees it evolving into an abstract art form, with Collina Strada blowing up the trippy lines to create bright strokes of colour slashed across clothing. These designs aren’t the usual homemade fare, but you can still try to craft your own designs using these techniques. The Elder Statesmen’s designs are highly desirable for SS21, with their tie-dye touches putting a fresh flair on the summer dresses and tees.

NEONS

Ain’t nothin’ like a neon to separate you from the crowd and this season you have options - with Balmain serving up head to toe looks that might even slide on a day in the office. As far as tailoring goes, these lime and raspberry-coloured streamlined suits flatter and elongate the body. Meanwhile, over at Tom Ford models wore two contrasting shades of bright pink accessorised with velvet flip flops and seventies shades. For the shy guys looking to experiment with neon accessories, Hermès showcased a bright green belt, sure to be seen across the hips of rappers for several seasons. Likewise with MSGM’s neon offerings for the season, which include green sliders and bags with colourful accents.
